ricka47 Posted March 27, 2017 #52 Share Posted March 27, 2017 As many nights of the Blu menu as you can. Supposed to be brand new as of a week or two ago. Thanks!!! Sent from my LG-E980 using Forums mobile app I'd like to see these as well; I didn't know that there were new ones coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabeers1 Posted March 27, 2017 Author #53 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'll make it a point to get more Blu menus as I can. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniceB Posted March 27, 2017 #54 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thank you for doing this live review. I will be following along since the Equinox will be my first Celebrity cruise in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbmyer Posted March 27, 2017 #55 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Is it any cheaper to upgrade the drink package on the ship? Also, shore excursions do most sell out? Should we book before or wait and see what is happening once on the boat? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfhngr Posted March 27, 2017 #56 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The Gastrobar has been open each sea day at 12, including debarkation day! This is my happy place. It's got sports on TVs and obviously a great beer selection. I haven't tried the food yet. Here is their current beer menu, most of which is available. A note: some of the bars and the specialty restaurants have even different beer selections than the Gastrobar. I have taken most beers to go, whether into the casino or the pool or the show.https://uploads.tapatalk Wow, this is a beautiful list!! I'll be planted here all 10 days, lol! Thank you!

charrach Posted March 27, 2017 #57 Share Posted March 27, 2017 On deck three in the front of the main dining room there are four round tables for eight. Three on one side of the stairs and one on the other side of the stairs What are the numbers of those tables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinm918 Posted March 27, 2017 #58 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thank you for posting all this great information! After many RCCL cruises we have decided to try Celebrity in December. Hoping what I read on another thread about Richard Spacey being on Equinox soon is correct. He was CD on 2 of our RCCL cruises and he's great.

CRU!SEAVMN Posted March 27, 2017 #59 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks for these updates. Thinking about an Equinox cruise in March 2018, my first time on Celebrity. How many dining options are complimentary? Would I get bored without some type of Dining Package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_T Posted March 27, 2017 #62 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm a first-time Celebrity cruiser on the Equinox now. I'm planning a full review at the end with as many dailies, menus, etc. as I can get. In the meantime, can I help answer any questions with photos or information? Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk Hi dabeers1 If you notice can you let me know what nights (if any) they are having the "top chef menu" nights in the MDR, personally I've always found these to be sub par compared to the normal menus...

DNorthrup Posted March 27, 2017 #63 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I upgraded to premium on the reflections last month it was a waist. Heads up they are using bar liquor so ask for a name brand! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabeers1 Posted March 27, 2017 Author #65 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) I'm back from St Thomas and will try to give a few miscellaneous answers: The cruise did debark on time Most music in the bars appears to end by 12. Usually the later events start at 10-10:30, after the second theater show. I wasn't able to get an exact answer about the spa but they did tell me that this cruise had a package for two (10 days) for $179 and they usually sell out the first day. The CD is in fact John Grantham. I have yet to see a menu for top chef at sea but I think I missed the day 3 menu. A few more menus should be posted now. https://goo.gl/photos/yJuL7hKtLRbYvCc26 Thanks for the tips on the Gastrobar. I asked about happy hour and was told they never have it but hopefully that will change. I'll be sure to sign the register right now!

I too have sailed with him multiple times on Royal Caribbean. I would be thrilled if he was the CD on Equinox when we sail in August! I usually don't think twice about who is the Cruise Director...but Richard Spacey is a "show" worth seeing! Ha ha! I'm sure he has toned down his silliness for Celebrity though! Oh please let him be there in August! :hearteyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the main martinis on the menu, but you can get other drinks there that will be included, as for the slush bar I don't think so... [emoji848] (maybe the alcohol free versions?)

dabeers1 Posted March 27, 2017 Author #72 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The weather is now fantastic (79 and sunny) and the Caribbean Sea is calm. The first two days on the Atlantic were very windy and rough yet mostly sunny. The ship was really rocking and the pool deck was super windy on the first full day. The theater and our room were creaking both nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisy McGee Posted March 27, 2017 #73 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks for posting all this info. The new Blu menus appear to have a lot more choices each night than the old ones. Very exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfamilyluvs2cruise Posted March 28, 2017 #74 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I would love to know if you see many teens? Is it a fun ship for them? We have done many RCCL Carnival, NCL and Disney, and while we really want to try Celebrity- the ships look beautiful- I want to make sure it would not be boring for them. We are considering a cruise on her this summer. Any opinion you have would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabeers1 Posted March 28, 2017 Author #75 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I think this week and next week would see the most teens. Still, there are probably only a dozen or two teens on the ship. There's a group of college-age students from Idaho and they seem to be having a good time. If I had to give you advice I'd say they could have a good time on their own but I wouldn't count on meeting many people their age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
